I teach supportive, slow flow and vinyasa classes that combine playful, energetic sequences with a deep curiosity about the mind/body connection. My hope is to help each of my students feel as though they can come to a yoga class or retreat to build awareness, release holding patterns, and, ultimately, come home to themselves.
For me, yoga has allowed a re-connection with my authentic self after living through challenging personal experiences. While I have always enjoyed physical exercise, I fell in love with the mindful, contemplative dimension that a yoga practice added to my life. Soon it began to feel as though each practice brought me home to myself: and reminded me of who I am, and how to best align my life with my core values.
I believe yoga is a powerful tool that allows us to notice the mind/body connection to better understand ourselves, so we can be the best versions of ourselves and allow our true spirit to shine. I currently teach public classes in Chicago and lead international retreats that foster re-connection and exploration in my students. I think of myself first as a student of yoga and continue to study extensively and widely to deepen my teaching.
